Hello I've noticed recently that my oldest friend my Policeman klicky has gained more of a stoop and is having trouble standing up. This is probably due to me taking him apart to repair him and accidentally cracking the part of his inner body that's directly behind his legs, unfortunately for me I'm seriously rubbish at taking Klickies apart which I put down to having low muscle tone in my arms (I know there's a technical term jsut can't remember which one it is at the minute) so even though I'm much stronger than I was due to the physical work I do, I still lack basic brute force and strength, my friends aren't much better and I'm not much good at explaining the techniques, so the last couple of times it's been pliers :o it works but it doens't do the head or shoulders much good as I'm sure you can imagine
Anyway he needs a new inner part but, I don't want to do any more damage trying to fix him, if anyone could help it would be much appreciated :-[ thanks.

That'd be a piece of cake, but if you don't want to do it yourself, that'd mean sending the clicky over and back! Where are you from?

Well, if nobody nearer would do it for you, I'd be glad to help. Just PM me, I have loads of brand new "spines".
Best,
Arnaud

Thanks that's very kind of you, I may very well get in touch in a few days time, particularly if my little man approves :) ;)

its not about being strong, its about technique. Have you watched any videos on how to strike it on the ground?

I've just had a look at a couple of videos thanks very much for the suggestion, I understand what you're trying to say no doubt knowing the right technique which works for you and how to do it properly is very important, I've had go at the Hans On Method and the rubber band method, it might well be partly me struggling to interpret the written instuctions or my lack of dexterity/fine motor skills if you know what I mean. It's hard to explain but,I think that the problem is at least as much down to not having the force in my hands as much as anything I know that I've never been particularly good with that sort of thing, when I'm hammering or sawing for example I find I have trouble with applying the force and getting the accuracy at the same time.
At any rate I don't have a spare inner part in fact woing to the size of my collection then I don't really have any useable spares for anything ;D :-[. If I have to experiment with different techniques next time that's fair do's but, since this little fella's been with me for as long as I can remember and has already been rather scratched and bruised by the last attempt to tighten his joints up I'd rather he's fixed up by someone who knows what they're doing so I don't accidentally do any damage to him which I regret, guess I feel that I owe it to my little friend to get him fixed up right :) ;)
